I have not been until now,
I am finally conforming to my girlie ways.
Baby why move so with strings attached?
Raw nerves, freshly plucked teeth,
and warm milk served to the boil piercing deflated skin.

She wears leather I dress in pink,
from there I crossover.
I would swan - lake were I more flexible.
Save conversation for Sunday
for it is our day of rest not to love.

Don’t judge on first glance for the mirror ball
adds an extra shine to the tarnished boys.
Fresh smiles can buy your soul and
keep you trapped under their bucking torsos.
I’d limit the drink as it makes me liberated.

Baby, the curtain rises, you take to the stage
a cabaret clone from 1973, I don’t remember
back then but surely you look sexy
underneath that
skirt and tie, top hat and cane.
We’ll have a party tonight.

Only now I realise as you smile
on the encore, the strings tied
to your teeth.
Why do you beg the queens
to pull them free?
You call to me in pain.

Baby I would feel sympathy
but they have tied you down
on your request!
I make my own way home,
What I have seen I can not regret.

Wash off the makeup to reveal skin
I have not seen since the cabaret scene.
Take off roughly my dress,
scrap off the eyeliner, smile in pride,
I think I’ll burn that dress…

…in my bedroom tonight,
then I’ll make over all mementoes of you.
Darling baby, treasure what you have laid down.
I found myself a cat, much easier
to care for than a cabaret baby.
====
Kiss, Kiss tell.

experimentation.

I know a place where I can go when Im low,into your arms I can go.

pout, e-mail on its way. Thanks for your wonderful reply. maybe you should out with less warp minded deviants. LOL. I am interested to hear what scenarios you were thinking about.

serenity, yes those stocking just don't fit, it is my wobbly knees and hairy legs. Get away with that leg wax...arrrggghhhhhh..lol
Thanks for your wonderful reply.

Martie, well there has been an accident and the flying killer poodles have escaped. Be on the look out. I am creating murderous cabbages to catch the poodles. LOL. Thanks for your wonderful comments.

~Brian,...not sure why but these totally intense poems that you write always tangle me up....they make me laugh, shed a tear, grit my teeth in rage,...everything. I find things in them each time I read them again...and feel different things as well. I twist your words to say things to me and I find myself lost in thought for a while after reading you. Your writing always has some sort of effect on me. *sigh*,...well,...for now,...I walk away from the pc with a brain full of thoughts to pick through. Thanks. Take it EZ. *Peace.

I always enjoy your work Brian and I couldn't let this one go by without comment. oh! and I think you're right to stay away from that leg wax..lol.

God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown

Well... I liked this but I'm not sure why. The images are too tangled in my brain to sort out. Perhaps you could join me at the Sydney Mardi Gras and we could discuss deviance in depth. lol.
Be well (even if insane)

"there are so many women living inside of me"

Maureen, I will send you an e-mail ASAP. THanks for your comments.

Spitfire, you sure know how to make a guy glow. I got a huge smile on my bright blushing face. THank you so much for your very generous words.

EagleOne, thanks for your comments. And if you saw my hairy legs then you would understand my fears of lefg wax. LOL

Kethry, I have friends who were at the Mardi Gras in Sydney. Looks like great fun, and very colourful. THanks for your wonderful comments.

Jan, you think Poet FF corrupted me, ya right!?! I was always a twisted little person. Why not flaunt my female side, in fact I think I might be the first male lesbian. LOL THanks for your wonderful comments.
